In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a dynamic button in Figma. A dynamic button is a button that will change its color, size, or shape depending on the context or user input.

To create a dynamic button in Figma, you first need to create a basic button template. You can do this by selecting the “Button” icon from the toolbar and then clicking on the “Create button” button.

After you’ve created your button template, you need to add a “Dynamic” field to it. This field will allow you to specify the conditions under which the button will change its appearance.

To change the appearance of the button, you first need to select the “Appearance” tab and then click on the “Button properties” button.

In the “Button properties” window, you will find the “Dynamic” field. To change the appearance of the button, you need to set the value of this field to a valid Figma expression.

Here are a few examples of valid expressions that you can use to change the appearance of a button:

– “width” : { “value” : 100 }

– “height” : { “value” : 50 }

– “text” : { “value” : “Hello, World!” }

– “backgroundColor” : “rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)”

Once you’ve set the value of the “Dynamic” field, you need to click on the “Apply” button to apply the changes to the button template.

PRO TIP: When creating a dynamic button in Figma, be sure to use the correct sizing and margins so that the button will function correctly. Additionally, make sure that the button is placed in the correct location on the screen. If you are unsure about any of these details, please consult a professional before proceeding.

Finally, you need to create a button instance and add it to your interface. You can do this by selecting the “Buttons” icon from the toolbar and then clicking on the “Create button instance” button.

After you’ve created your button instance, you need to add it to your interface. You can do this by selecting the “Buttons” icon from the toolbar and then clicking on the “Add button” button.

After you’ve added your button instance, you need to specify the conditions under which the button will change its appearance. You can do this by setting the value of the “Dynamic” field of the button instance to a valid Figma expression.

– “width” : { “value” : 100 }
– “height” : { “value” : 50 }
– “text” : { “value” : “Hello, World!” }
– “backgroundColor” : “rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)”

Once you’ve set the value of the “Dynamic” field, you need to click on the “Apply” button to apply the changes to the button instance.

Finally, you need to click on the “Create button” button to create your dynamic button.
